Vehicle fire could have had serious consequences
Police are appealing for witnesses after a Saab car was set alight in a car park in Lacock Close, South Wimbledon.
The fire brigade and police were called to the blaze at 8.50pm on Monday (November 14).
The fire was extinguished, but the car was extensively damaged and the blaze could have had a more serious outcome.
Police are investigating reports of people seen near the vehicle just before the blaze was reported.

In a small area like this, we are really keen to address any problems and support our residents." He said the Trinity team can be contacted at any time on 0208-721-2453 or email via www.met.police.uk.
